ABOUT BALD HEADS.
Physician States Alarming Facts About
Badness and Gives Kennedy
" York Mail and Expire.


"Bald-headed men die sooner than those
who possess full head of hair" said
physician the other day. Then, doctor
your life il shortened" interposed the
reporter.
Il have adopted a protector you seq
the skull cap. If nave no hair TO cover
my Uranium, do the next best thing and
use warm cap. | never go bald headed
no matter where l am, and by that means
never take cold The majority of men
who have bald heads wear nothing to
protect the exposed surface, not even a
wig. The result is many Of them take
cold and go off with pneumonia, or CON
tract some deep seated disease like
bronchitis or consumption. Yet if told
bald-headed man to wear something
warn on TIE exposed spot, he would, nine
times out of ten, pay no attention to my
warning. 1t is a growing cause of in
creased mortality and deserves great at
tenti0n, both from scientists and en-
pircal laymen. Bald heads are the sign
posts of high aesthetical civilization,
and at the same time the epitaphs of a
physical degeneration. Luxury, ease,
comfort, high living and hereditary
characteristics have to be taken into
consideration when analyziug the prob
lem of bald heads. If the future race is
TO be devoid Of hair, then it must necess-
arily be short lived one, because more
susceptible to sickness. / have noted
many cases of pneumonia, and where the
patient Is a male over 10 years old the
proportion is over oue-hllf in favor of
being ald-headed. Whenever / have a
bald headed patient | never rest until he
consents to wear q skull cap. If the hair
is no protection to man he would have
been created without any, and his skin
made tough and thick 20 stand the
weather. The wise provisions made TO
insure perfect physical comfort never
contemplated a period in the world
history when a man should 90 about with
his head slick as peeled onion. The
man who does it repeatedly sooner or
later pays the penalty.
Caesar was bald in his last days and
shielded his Uranium by wearing a crown.
In those days when hats were not worn,
few people we're bald, and those who were
attempted to conceal the fast. 1t is said
that Cwsar wore the crown to hide his
bald head, and it may be added correctly
that he did it for comfort as well. Wo-
men do not suffer from the exposure OF
bald heads because they wear false head
ed rigging which generally protects the
scalp. Then females are not predisposed
TO badness as males Nature has given
them an abundance of hair, aud those
who grow bald have some kind OF skin
trouble. Yet there are more bald headed
women than the world imagines. My ar
gument against going about with the scalp
exposed is merely from hygienic point
of view and not because of any false no
tions about how it makes a person look
Old men. middle-aged men, gilded youth

but wear something warm and upon all
occasions. Your days will be longer in
the land aud your progeny will be longer
in the land and your progeny will be less
